"The logs were really a mother gray whale and her baby — about 20 feet long and probably a month old, guessed my guide, Mauricio Duran Ramirez of Todos Santos Eco Adventures. The 45-foot-long mother kept a salad-plate-sized eye on her baby and the excited visitors while she and the curious calf nosed over to a raft. The calf poked its head out of the water and seemed to beg for petting, like a big, wet, dinosaur-headed puppy."
